-I want to pay,and be able to buy any game regardless of gen, 360 and One and Series S/X

Should I create an account on his name, then make his account the one we will both use, make my xbox the home/primary one, let him have the normal/secondary one and only play through the account we both use, and, as for me, play on a second account so we both can take advantage of the games, game pass and xbox live gold?

If you're the one paying for game pass/gold/games/etc, then you should have your account on both machines, set your cousins console as your primary one, then have your cousin create an account for himself on his console, and make sure he uses his account rather than yours.

I thought that the one who uses the normal/secondary xbox can't use a second acount to play the shared games. Deosnt only the home/primary xbox have the ability to play all the games in a different account?

Yeah that's basically what I said, so if you want your cousin to share your stuff, you'll have to put your account on his console and make that the home/primary one, he then uses his own account and gets access to your stuff, and you keep using your account only (not home/primary) on your console...

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
